Trade confidently on D1 Marketplace

D1 Marketplace connects people directly. We cannot guarantee the safety of an in-person meetup or the honesty of another user, so these habits matter.

How to spot a scam

  • Prices far below market value, with pressure to act immediately.
  • A “buyer” who overpays and asks for a refund of the difference.
  • Requests to move the conversation to another app straight away.
  • Anyone asking for a verification code sent to your phone or email.

Communicate safely

  • Keep conversations in D1 Marketplace messaging so there is a record.
  • Don't share your home address, ID documents or banking details.
  • Block and report anyone who is abusive or pushy.

Handling payments

  • For local deals, pay in person once you have inspected the item.
  • Avoid gift cards, wire transfers and cryptocurrency — they are unrecoverable.
  • Never pay a deposit for an item you have not seen.

Meeting in person

  • Meet in a busy, well-lit public place; many police stations offer exchange zones.
  • Bring someone with you, especially for high-value items.
  • Tell a friend where you are going and when you expect to be back.

What D1 Marketplace will never ask for

  • Your password or a login code.
  • Payment sent directly to a staff member.
  • Remote access to your device.
